Get To Know Your MachineBasic Assembly PrinciplesHere are a few basic tips that will make your assembly of the Bowflex Elite home gym quick and easy. By using theseprinciples, you can simplify each process and save yourself extra time and effort.1. To make the assembly process go faster, gather the pieces you need for each step and thoroughly read the assemblyinstructions for that step prior to starting assembly for the step.2. When tightening a locknut on a bolt, use a combination wrench to grip the locknut and ensure that it is fastened securely.3. When attaching two pieces, gently lift and look through the bolt holes to help guide the bolt through the holes.4. As a general rule, and for all bolts and nuts on your Bowflex Elite home gym, turn bolts or nuts toward the right totighten and left to loosen. Or you can remember the mnemonic: “Righty tighty, lefty loosey.”Parts List*Item 3031Qty.111111111111166212111111111112Hardware List*DescriptionLOWER LAT TOWERBASE PLATFORMBASE RIGHT LEGBASE LEFT LEGSQUAT PLATFORMCHEST BARSEAT PADSEAT BRACKETSEAT RAILREAR LEGREAR LEG CROSS TUBESEAT RAIL KNOBLEG EXTENSION PIVOT TUBEFOAM ROLLERSFOAM ROLLER END CAPSSHORT CHROME ROLLER TUBESLONG CHROME ROLLER TUBEROLLER TUBE SPACERSLEG EXTENSION SEAT PADLEG EXTENSION SEAT SUPPORT TUBELAT CROSS BARUPPER LAT TOWERROD BOX FRAMEROD BOX WITH POWER RODS FACEPLATEFACEPLATE BACK RIGHTFACEPLATE BACK LEFTBENCH PADLOCK OUT PINCHEST PULLEYSItem nSCREW, #10 PHILLIPS HEADSCREW, #10 X 1" PHILLIPS HEADSCREW, 5/16" X 3/4" BUTTON HEADSCREW, 3/8" X 3/4" BUTTON HEADSCREW, 3/8" X 2 1/2" BUTTON HEADSCREW, 3/8" X 2 3/4" BUTTON HEADSCREW, 3/8" X 3" BUTTON HEADSCREW, 3/8" X 3 1/4" BUTTON HEADSCREW, 3/8" X 4 1/4" BUTTON HEADSCREW, 3/8" X 5" BUTTON HEADWASHER, 1/4"WASHER 5/16"WASHER, 3/8"NYLOCK NUT 3/8"BOLT COVERS, 3/8"Accessory List*Item No.RSTUVWYZAABBQty.1121222212DescriptionSQUAT BARBENT LAT BARHAND GRIPSROWING BELTSNAP HOOKSSQUAT STRAPSROD CABLES W/ 2 SNAP HOOKS (attached)LAT CABLES W/ 2 SNAP HOOKS (attached)LEG CABLESQUAT CABLES W/ 2 SNAP HOOKS (attached)NOTE: LEAVE ALL CABLES WRAPPED AND BAGGED UNTIL YOUR BOWFLEX ELITE HOME GYM IS FULLY ASSEMBLED.*Specifications subject to change without notice.A-1
